Aside from Danille whining the entire second half about how it should have been her to win, I liked the finale.
I'm glad Celeste won. I liked her more than Gen. She wasn't as obnoxious as most others. She sort of just flew under the radar.

I'm not glad Celeste won at all. Genevive really deserved to win in my eyes, for being a leader, and winning her way through 3 Nerd-Offs. She was so much better than Celeste IMHO. Oh well, here's to next season.
And yeah, Danielle for me was 10/10 at the start of the season, and pretty much 2/10 at the end of it :)
BTW: I thought the quiz was extremely poorly done. Why on earth weren't there more points for getting the harder questions right? I'm not sure that would have changed the result, just made it more strategic. The way it was - Oh yeah, I'm 1 point away from getting through, let's just choose an easy question that everyone will get right.

I didn't like who won, I thought it should be the other person. I thought the one who won was kind of manipulative the entire time. But whatever.
My #1 disliked thing about the finale was that the dismissed nerds got to vote and that was all there was to deciding the winner. I highly disliked it. I would have been okay with their vote maybe giving one of them an advantage in a final epic-nerd off. The whole voting thing was just boring to me.
Several of the contestants play WoW, and therefore likely use Wowhead, I wonder if any of them have seen our thread. hehe(##RESPBREAK##)2060##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

That's how Survivor is done. They have a tribal council that pick the overall winner.
I see it fitting that the ones voted off got to say who the winner is. If the other nerds didnt think the winner was good enough, they wouldn't have voted for that person.
And doing nothing is a good way to get by. You don't seem like a threat so no one picks you to be eliminated. And in the trivia challenge, they knew enough the beat the other contestant.
They might, it would be awesome to talk with the contestants.

And that's one of my favorite things about Survivor -- that meta-game surrounding the winner determination. You have to screw enough people to
get
to the final vote, but not screw them
so
hard that you burn every bridge and thus assure yourself second place. (It should be noted that collusion with regard to prizes is a disqualification offense on Survivor, to prevent players from going for the easy mode "vote for me and I'll split the million dollars with everyone".)
It's reminiscent of some of my favorite cooperative board games with a traitor mechanic (Shadows Over Camelot, Battlestar Galactica). In those games you can often do the most damage before you're found out as the traitor, so you have to work against yourself
just enough
to stay under everyone's radar without letting the rest of the group win. It's by far the most entertaining and challenging role to play in these games.

That's because all the voting contestants got voted off also, so they build up an impression of the finalists by how they behaved during the entire season and how honest they were etc. Wasn't the same in KOTN.
Anyway. Can't wait to see who the contestants for the next season are.
Cheers.

I haven't watched a single episode but I am so very glad Danielle did not win. The amount of gushing over her at Insider nauseates me and I wanted her to lose simply on principle.
I highly dislike the 'tee hee look at me I have boooooobs and I play videogames' girls.

Hi everyone,
Season 2 has just started. I was browsing the channels at 10pm and came across it on TBS. Another fun group, with another WoW player. But he's a bit off the wall. Happy viewing.

I thought he was pretty off the wall as well Lanky, lol.
There's a gay nerd this time which is pretty cool if you ask me! :)

It's a great show, and yeah.. off the wall is putting it mildly.

I cannot stand, from the beginning, that Fantasy Writer guy... Zach? I can't recall the name. The one who... ...won the last nerd-off. He is so cocky and rude, not to mention condescending and a bit out there.

Yep, pretty sure his name was Zach, and I totally agree. He is the most frustrating person to watch on the show!

So, who's your favorite? I kind of want the bearded historian to do well.
Just looked him up. Brian.
In reviewing the others, it reminded me I really like Katie too.

It's too early to say for me. (BTW have not seen episode 3 yet so a long way to go.)
Chris, Kelsey, Jack and Mary Kate, but as long asZach who is still in at this point doesn't win, then I'll be happy.

It's still early, but I think my favorite is going to be Jack.
Is Zach
the
WoW player on the show or is there someone else? I mean, I know he always makes references to the game in the show, but REALLY? That's the guy representing WoW players?

He's not representing them, but he is one :)
it's what everyone who watches think WoW players are like now. No one else plays WoW. I love how Nicole turned that on him. 'Do you really want people to think WoW players act like that?'

Yeah I loved that too Lanky.
His constant "for the horde" references and "forsaken" is a bit annoying to me. There is such a thing as taking it to far, to often. He also seems to wear that Horde shirt quite frequently for only being the 3rd episode. But, ultimately, it's his attitude that he's superior and will "crush" everyone... he gets vindictive. It's creepy.
I wonder if he frequents Wowhead? I mean, if he's an avid WoW player I'm sure he's around occasionally. Maybe not the forums though.(##RESPBREAK##)2060##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

He's probably memorized everything there is to know about the game, what with him having a photographic memory an all.
